DOMESTIC COAL FOR WELLINGTON
* LIGNITE ONLY TO BE SENT FROM WEST COAST (P.A.) WELLINGTON, September 25. Retail coal dealers in Wellington have been advised that until further notice there will be no bituminous coal from the West Coast for private consumption in Wellington, as it is the intention of the Government to reserve all bituminous, supplies for highly essential purposes such as railways, gas company retorts, and steamers that must necessarily depend on this class of coal. It is gathered that there will be shipments of coal for private purposes from the West Coast as opportunity serves, but this will be lignite coal from Charleston, an open mine some 17 miles from Westport.
